Who We Are

 

Nylas was founded in 2013 and has raised over $175M to date from Tiger Global, 8VC, Spark Capital, Slack, and more; as well as individual investors including Patrick Collison, Co-Founder and CEO of Stripe, John Collison, President and Co-Founder of Stripe, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, and Tony Fadell.

People First

 

Nylas is a BIG advocate for the well-being of its employees, which is why we have embraced a People First philosophy. It’s about giving more autonomy and flexibility to our employees. It’s not about when, where or how the work is accomplished; it’s about adopting a mindset of velocity and trust when tackling the work. It’s about respecting individual working styles, disabilities, and personal schedules, but also ensuring everyone has a better work-life balance. The outcomes will always be more important than the physical location.

 

Nylanauts have the ability to decide the best workspace or environment that will result in more ideas, engagement, creativity, focus, collaboration, and productivity. Why? Because we want our employees to be great; because we are focussed on being a high-performing team. To achieve this mission, we remove barriers and offer more autonomy. So, Nylanauts are encouraged to find those environments that inspire them to be great. This means Nylanauts can work from the slopes of Montana or from the beaches of Italy.

 

And if Nylanauts want to work from an office in one of our hubs (San Francisco, Denver, New York City, Toronto, and London), they can! The workspace is there to be utilized.

 

So, if you’re looking to join a fast-growing company with a beloved, daily-use product, and an authentic mission that puts people first, we want to meet you. Want to know more? Check us out on Comparably and Great Place to Work!

Our team helps build the Nylas Cloud APIs that deal with scheduling and calendaring.

  • Developing on Python and Go codebases
  • Architecting and designing systems, in collaboration with others, that delight our users
  • Technical guidance: given company and customer objectives, help aim the direction of our codebase, including testing strategy, CI/CD decisions, and medium-term goal setting for your surrounding team
  • Reliability and Data: work within and improve protocols for uptime, service availability, and incident handling, both in a reactive and proactive way.
  • Working collaboratively with a team of developers, designers, and product owners to develop and evolve features
  • Working with cloud-based deployments and application environments

Qualifications

  • Intellectually curious, passionate, and inventive
  • 8+ years of relevant work experience, or a degree supplemented with relevant experience in the field
  • Advanced proficiency in Python and/or Go
  • Competency in at least one application framework (like Flask, FastAPI, or Gin or Echo)
  • Experience with modern database and storage (MySQL, NoSQL, and variations thereof)
  • Experience creating and developing on RESTful APIs
  • Proven ability to mentor others, via code review, pairing, and general technical guidance
  • Experience working at a start-up or a fast-paced environment
  • Experience leading technical projects from start to finish
  • Someone who wants to be a strong individual contributor and lead large scale technical projects



Perks and Benefits:

 

Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO): we take this very seriously as we care about the well-being of our employees

RRSP with 3% employer contribution

Education Stipend: $1,250 annual education & development benefit

Perk card: $180 per month towards health, wellness, and other perks via Assembly
